The daughters of Virginia are being plotted aiivat by the Legislature. It first killed a bill to employ them' at physicians in the insane asylums and now it refuses to t grant women license to practice law. Verily the professional women ef the Old Domin ion are in hard luck. IN a letter to Mr. J . & Glarkson Mr. J. G. Blaine ways his name cannot go before the presidential convention, that he will decline the nomination should it be tender, ed. This U clever in Mr Blaine and if it is true it will give Mr. Harrison the right of way for re-eleclion. but we can hardly be lieve that Mr. Biaine ia the kiud of man to decline the presidential nonunion. Whsk the Chilian war clond seemed the mest furious the Hornet Nt6t Riflemen of Charlotte this State. ent Mr. Harrison a message saying that they were ready Jo go to the front at any time. Ia some way the Chilian government got a whif of this news and at ooc set to work to make apologies. Chili thought it was alright as long as the fJnited States talked war, bat when the ''tar heels" announced their readiness to fight Chili knew it meant war or peace, so to the Hornet Nest Riflemen should be accorded the honor of settling the trouble With what pride do North Carolinians look upon the laws of North Carolina? Our State laws rays : .The mighty arm of justice shall rnle. the dignity of the State must be upheld. Bat let us see. That mighty arm of justice swings 'rout:d and nine men out of ten see it coming and slip nnder U and escape its fearful blow. The offender ef tho law in caught arraigned at the bar of justice b the law, tried b) the law and then allowed to esoape under the same law, . . Two csbs pf this slipping under the ar of justice has been brought to light within the past two weeks in this section, (n both of these cases the guilty party has been caught by the law and by the law al. lowed to escape. Whether there, is a de feet iu the Uw or a lack of stability on the part of the officer, wo are not prepared to ay, but that there is something wrong is a fact uot to be denied. The first of these cases was that of R. K Montague, who was arrested in the town of Washington on Saturday night Jan 30 upon a charge of robbery, which was proven and afterwards he not only confessed his guilt in the case for which he was arrested, but he confessed uveral other robberb): Be was arraigned at the bar of justice to an swertotb ebargo first made, but the plaintiff appeared and refused to prosecute him, then anotner cae which he had con fessed was presented and the law released him nDon a bond of 1500 and as a result the guilty party skipped to parts unknown He, a confessed thief was .turned loose to go to heme other community and again lake np his profession. The second ease was that of Dr. Charlie Jones, , who with his wife located in our sister town, Eden ton, and opened a gamb. ling hell contrary, to the peace and dignity of the t feje and country. Jjt week Jones was arrestsd and tried for his dirty deeds and convioted, bnt what was the result, did the arm of justice hurl him into prison for safe keeping to await the action of the highs er Court, which must have rewarded him by severe punishment for his diabolical crime? No, he was released on a straw bond and allowed to escape to some other town where he might engage in his hellish deeds! - Bo came to this town, bnt we have what is called a vigilant committee and all suspicious characters are requested to vacate and Joues was no exception to the rnle. When the law deals out justice in this manner is it uot time to call a halt. Law is law, but it is becoming to be a farce. It U eften said that when orimnale are allowed to give bond it save the county the ez)nse of a big law suit and rids the 00 mm unity of a bad character. ' 60 it does but other com munities are suffering by this 'very thing and it is high time it was put to an end We are proud of the law whioh was made by our forefathers far our pioteotion, for the protection of our homes, our families and our property, ; but we . are ashamed of tne manner in which tha Jaws are being carried out. We appeal to the men who have authority, to put down crime in our midst by the rigid enforcement of the law, er else fctep down from the seat of justice. Don't allow your if2ce to become a loop, hole through which criminals may escape t tice. , WHO SHALL RULEj This la indeed a question that aboald be asked every mean that has any interest in the National Government, wt say the peo. pie should rule and they oaa rale if they try. The following on this subject 1 from the Tarboro Southerner: "Just now there is a crisis in the Demo cratio party. One section is moving might and main to control it. The ring politicians are striving to control the party, to dictate couunatiou . and to run the party far place men rather than on principles and for the peopie. Ti4 Hill coterie Lave evidently 'set their pegs' to put in me New York bus. Suap judgment is to be Ukeo iu New York by calling thi 8taU Convention months earlier than nsual in order to rush in a solid Uili delegation and to convince ire country that D. U' Hill is the man for Democracy, its chosen leader by popular aoclaiui. All issues are to be 'straddled.' For ex amples, read Mr, Hill on silver take the programme mapped oat in Coegreas to introduces little tariff bill. which wi 1 catok the popular fancy without committing the party to anything v ry particular. Will (be peop;e allow it? They are not after office, they yote on the principle aud be lieve in the principles of the Democratic party. It is for them to say wl aher prin ciples cor men shall govern the party and make ita nominations. At present that is looking at the party aa shaped by the Hill ring, the Democratize party is not Democratic, not held together by the principles of Democracy ba simply as opponents of r pubiictnism. The ring would make it only an opposition paity. Party success cannot be ma.de effectual and lasting with such .incongruous elements. An etaotiou occasionally inav be won. but the moment power is entrusted to it it must go to pieees for the lack of cohesion and a definite policy For one thebouth erner is grewiug tired of seeing the DeuiH .ratio party only ah opposition, dickering with every liltie enscouteutea lacuou, promising vaguely everything, doing noth ing It wants to see Democracy maii some, thine as it did under Jtffersou, JackNOu, Tuden and Cleveland, it wautu the time to return when Democracy is a vital living word, the synonym of eeouomy, sound fi nancies, the masses in prelert nee to the classes all men free and equii before the law and none laVored. All tbie is for the people to say. Men and mensures go together if ihey harinou. ize, but. both mut be in accord er else the measures are dead letters aud tho men remain seeking only personal aggraudise. inent and soft berths for their henchmen Let the people determine that Dfcmocracy shall not be meaningless and then let tneni aeleat a man who is embued with their principles who will place th m first before biuisrif and the party advances to a higher plane, with a definite policy, united, stroug and iu a position to take advantage and retain it, when victory comes. People who want not office but only good govern ment must settle the question, who shajl ruie ? The place i unter can sjieady be heard, loud mouthed and obstreperous for themitQ who is the first end only choice of Tamany Hah aud the personification 01 its methods Principle With them is nothing, Democracy leas ir-ao nothing, unless un office is to he their reward My countrymen, it is not such men as tnse mat you aud the nontntrner want, or the country uteus. Katber let ns take a mau who instead of being w.iliug to sacri fice principle for success would eoffcT deteat rather than trifle with principle. A little homely honesty for houeety'e sake is what we Beed and the peopie must say whether we are to have it. Who 6ba" rule?"

THXT ABX AT THE FRONT IK LAEGER NUM BER8 HOW TEAK KVKK Bkf-'OHE. Aujutta (Ga,) pbronicl. The young man who hesitates to accept or assume s atioiiB or responaibiuty aud trust because of bis youthfuluess. and waits fur the dignifying and solidifying influence of malnrtr years to fit him tor the position, is not a close student of tni lives of men who have impressed their names on their copntry's history. While older men Shake their heads aud remark in half-com plaining tones u.ai boys know more than their falners tnese days, yet Irom no source does the ambitious, determined vouog man receive . mora cordial eucouragemeut and snpport thsn from those same men who decfare they are bi-ing shelved for the boys, it is not that jouth knows more than age. But when a youth, buoyant with hope and confidence, bis yisiii undimmed by the doubu and prejudices engendered by long acquainteuoe with thi world nis ambitiou ma with-red by years of dreary struggle for supsutcuce, his hai t full of iov for buoiauity, aud his soul vibrant with the grind po.nbiiities of life when such a youth, fresh from stuoy and with intellect well stored, can mount at once to the point reached by his father through year of bitter azperUuce, and from the vantage ground begin the battle of life, he is the better equipped pf the two, just aa a ''dwarf perched open the shoulders of a giant pan see further than the giant." Those youths who think young men have not a fair chance, and those older men who think young men not able to fill im. port ant stations, may each learn a les.on from the records o! tne past. Uenry (Jlay was in the Senate or the United States, contrary to the Constitution, at twet-ty one. ebster was in a college at fifteen, gave evidence of hii great future before be was twenty-five and. at thirty he was the peer of the ablest man In Congress. Charjes James F"X was in Parliament at nineteen Martin Lutner had b-come large ly distinguished at twenty-four and at thirty six had reached the topmost round of his world TVlde fame peel was In Par liamect at twenty-one. Napoleon at twenty live commanded the army of Italy. At forty he was not ouly one of the most illus trious Generals of the tiue. but one of the sireat lawgivers of the world. At forty-six be taw Waterloo. Washington wn a colo nel in tha armv at tweutv two. President at thirty-seven. Judge Story was in Tiar. vard at fifteen, in Congress at twenty-nine and Juijge of the Supreme Court of the United States at thirty-two.' Gladstone was in Pa-Wjameni at twenty -4wo, and at twenty.fouf was First Lord of the Treasury. William Pitt entered college at fourteen, was Chancellor of the Exchequer at twen ty-two. Prime Minister at twenty four, and when thirty live was the most rtowsrlul Uncrowned head in Europe. Byron wrote "alnglish ISards aud Sootob Rev.eWers" a.t twenty one and published "Childe Harold" at twenty four. Alexander atepueus went to the legislature at twenty four aud Con greas nt thirty one. Henry Grady refused a nomination to Congress at thirty two and made his New England speech, which gave him National reputation, at thirty eX. These iustauces are only cited to remiud older men that the w.-rld has ever been ready to give diatiaotiou to youug meu who Command it by their abilities and to show yonnjj men of brains aad pluck that no body is trying to keep thorn beck. At no time Im the world's history has ability been disregarded because coupled with youth, and never were there more doors open te young men than to day. Ob, What a Co-agb, Will you heed the warning.
